Being adventurous doesn’t have to mean not being safe. For example, that’s why activities like rock climbing have so many safety rules. The people who run these businesses put a lot of thought and effort into making sure their customers aren’t put in danger. But accidents do happen. At a gym in China, a man even managed to catch a falling fellow climber. It’s unclear exactly what happened that led to this dangerous situation. All we know is that, somehow, the climber did not “clip in to the auto-belay” system. So, when he began to fall, he had nothing to catch him… except the brave climber to his right. Witness this harrowing rescue in the video below. @mothershipsg Although the man was wearing a harness, he had failed to clip in to the auto-belay system, which would have caught him when he fell. While there has been speculation on whether the climber had forgotten to do so or was simply trying to pull off a stunt, the snippet shows him reaching for different coloured rocks—as opposed to doing a proper route—implying that something was already amiss. ♬ original sound – Mothership Stunning Footage Shows the Moment a Brave Man Manages to Narrowly Catch a Falling Rock Climber “Give that guy a raise,” someone suggests in the comments. Others add, “The strength you need to catch that amount of weight is unreal” and “That was dad reflexes and pure adrenaline.” If you’re unfamiliar with how rock climbing works, an auto-belay is considered to be vital by many. This device makes it easier, and safer, for climbers to be lowered back down to the ground. As this situation shows, that especially comes in handy if someone were to slip and fall. There’s much we don’t know about this harrowing situation. For example, it’s not been confirmed if the brave climber who saved the falling man is a worker at the gym or a fellow patron. One common belief is that the man on the right was on his way to rescue the other climber but didn’t make it in time before he fell. No matter what happened, exactly, one thing is for sure: That man is a selfless hero! Had he not been able to catch that climber, there’s no telling what would have happened.
